Heh...I seem to remember that Hayworth himself had something to do with Juan's victory.

For a guy that keeps trying to convince us that you are not a several year romneybot, you sure post that a lot.
(Oh Please!) As my eye roll!
Why don’t you and your buddies continue your “FAKE” support for Bachmann? you guys hate both women and will use one against the other...”
The real blame lies in AZ’s open primary system that allows crossover voting in GOP primaries.
LOL
Yeah, no kidding.
After 23 years in the seat, McCain barely squeezed out a 24 point margin of victory.
Going way out there to blame Sarah for McCain just so you can hate on her—man,you take PDS to whole new heights.
We need a federal law that requires any person holding a federal office to immediately vacate that office upon running for another federal office.
That's much worse than Americans anxiety about the sliding stock market, a halt on hiring and the possibility of higher interest rates related to the governments spending and job killing policies the last couple years...
This idiot needs to retire while he can still think his way out of a revolving door...
Heh...I seem to remember that Hayworth himself had something to do with Juan's victory.
And this is why the liberal media loves John McCain.
He’s always there to fight for the liberals and provide quotes for their headlines.
Scumbag
People in AZ obviously like this guy otherwise they would not have voted for him. Maybe there are just a lot of RINOS in Arizona not sure, but they voted for him..sucks but that’s just the way it is. To blame Sarah Palin is absolutely absurd. People vote for whoever they want to vote for, doesn’t matter who endorses that person. Your right about the crossover voting, I have no doubt many Dems crossed over to vote for that jerk face
SOURCEI’m long on record saying that McCain was potentially beatable this cycle, but only by a solid conservative with statewide name recognition and a solid approval rating. That would be one of two people: John Shadegg or Jeff Flake. JD Hayworth, McCain’s opposition has only one of those things going for him: statewide name recognition. He’s certainly no conservative, especially in today’s market where the mark of a winner will be strong fiscal conservative credentials and JD’s about as fiscally conservative as any incumbent Democrat in the US Senate. He spent twelve years in the US House and his singular accomplishment was never missing an opportunity to make a complete fool of himself in front of any TV camera he could find. He’s a terminal whiner, a complete buffoon and he’s never met a spending bill he couldn’t add something into before supporting. JD lost his seat in CD05 to Harry Mitchell not because of George Bush and not because of his “hardline stand” on immigration. He lost it because the voters in CD05 were sick of listening to JD Hayworth.
The bottom line for this race has been and is, Arizona voters aren’t fond of McCain’s policies but the respect him personally because of his service and his status as a POW. Those same voters are more approving of Hayworth’s policies but harbor a visceral hatred for him personally. There’s more, related to demographics and a little related to endorsements, but the real bottom line is that JD Hayworth is toxic and probably half of McCain’s vote total will be from people who can’t stand JD. The internals for the latest poll are here, and the headline reinforces what I’ve noted above: JOHN MCCAIN TROUNCING J.D. HAYWORTH BUT HIS JOB RATINGS STILL SOFT.
The Magellan poll – which is a Republican polling firm – did an excellent job of highlighting my contention about the candidate’s respective images:Among all voters, 60% have a favorable opinion of John McCain and 37% have an unfavorable image. This puts his image ratio at 1.6 to 1, which is decent for an incumbent. When looking at John McCain’s image rating by voter subgroup, it quickly becomes apparent that women have a more favorable opinion of him than men. Among all female voters, 66% have a favorable opinion of John McCain and 30% have an unfavorable opinion of him. Among all male voters, 54% have a favorable opinion of him and 44% have an unfavorable opinion. JD Hayworth’s image rating is “upside down” with 38% having a favorable opinion of him and 50% having an unfavorable opinion of him.
And let me add, this same poll shows Mitt Romney beating Palin in a Presidential race. If Palin were as influential as you keep crying about, seems to me the people she hoodwinked into voting for McCain would vote for her in droves over Romney.
But you keep blaming Palin for JD's shortcomings.
If you recall, a few of us said the same thing over and over again. Hell, I even offered to help JD.
The McCain school of winning friends and influencing Conservatives.
J.D. Hayworth, McCain's opponent, couldn't raise any money and he had some questionable personal and political issues that kept him behind during his entire campaign. He never got close.
Blaming Sarah Palin’s limited campaigning for the guy who “brung her to the dance” is ridiculous. As I have said on other threads, if Sarah supported McCain's opponent, she would have been called a disloyal, unappreciative back stabbing Bit@h by both Parties and the Liberal Media.
Bank on it.
And is there any doubt who will be doing the blaming?
Hint: His initials are J.M.
McCain won the primary against a very weak opponent who starred in infomercials for concern that has been convicted of fraud.
If you truly believe that Sarah Palin was responsible for McCain winning the GOP nomination, you're even dumber than I thought (if that's possible).
